I'm really excited about the new Honda Insight. I guess the Prius must have about the ideal shape for aerodynamics, because the Insight is shaped similarly, but Honda has adapted that form so the back looks nicer than the Prius. (I have a Prius, and, much as I love it, the back deserves to be called the "butt end".) Anyway, the nicest news about the Insight is that it will supposedly be a couple thou less than the Prius. We'll see if this comes true.

On a similar note, check out the movie, Who Killed the Electric Car?. It's compelling, entertaining, funny and sad, and will make you a better person. I saw one on-line reviewer babbling about it being a "sissy movie for whiny girly men", and thought, here's a guy who's unable to step into the 21st century. Wake up, fella. A guy who suggests that concern about the environment has to do with masculinity should wake up and smell the wilting roses. Real men leave the world a better place for their children. Guys like that bore me.
